Description

The theme is: HEROISM AND/OR VILLAINY

In case you missed the explanation or event the last time around...

"Ladies and Gentlemen, boys and girls; I'm sure many of you have wished to work with someone new, especially someone well known and respected, or maybe just someone who's gotten your attention and appreciation of their work. Perhaps you aren't well known but would like to meet and collaborate with some people, show what you got? Are you just looking for something a little different? While not all of these can be promised, it would be nice to be able to do some of these, yes? I give you, McBacon Jam."



Here are the basics this time around:
  • Any engine is fine.
  • No restrictions on resources used. Also, as last time, and as it stands, commissioning an outsider is fine so long as it isn't that much work and doesn't effect the team dynamic.
  • This event will run from (August)8/19/2015 to (September)9/18/2015
  • I will announce a theme on the 19st; that is when your team can officially begin, as last time.
  • Team sizes must be a minimum of 2 with a maximum of 4 (remember, this is about collaborations). Solo entries will not be accepted for this.
  • If you already have a team decided, be sure all members join said team.
  • If you don't have a team, but want to join one, make a team with just you in it. If someone joins your team, make sure everyone in said team talks about it too.
  • Will be using a "pool" for people who want to try things in a more "random" fashion in place of what was reserves.
  • Team setups cannot be the exact same as they were in McBacon Jam #1. Each new jam means different team arrangements!
  • If bizarre circumstances occur or if you're having some team issues, let me know and I will take care of things accordingly.




Badges!
Only 1 badge will be handed out, depending on the circumstances:
McBacon Jam 2: MBJ2 Support Hero: 10 MS
  • Given to people who help me out with this event but don't join a team and submit a game.

McBacon Jam 2: MBJ2 Builder Hero: 25 MS
  • Given to people on a team that end up making something reasonably playable and meets the theme (or if I'm feeling nice, can at least make a really good gamepage, have an amazing video and images showing it off, and give me the impression that they'll keep working on it)

McBacon Jam 2: MBJ2 Cake Hero: 40 MS
  • Having everything done on the 9th (old deadline) will earn you this





Special thanks to:
Marimo for the logo for this McBacon Jam.
Archeia_Nessiah for helping me decide the theme, and countless other things.
Liberty for post event stuff.

@mjshi I do a slew of everything I would say. Although I think my greatest traits are game balancing and story writing, but again I can do whatever.

Sorry, sorry, this is the real theme.

I hope the theme's not "epicness" as 1) I usually associate "epic" games with large, sprawling game worlds that you'd never be able to make in a month and 2) the word is so totally overused that its almost lost all meaning :P

It's probably going to be a dual theme, like last time.

*Edit: Somehow, this dual theme will fit into whatever it is that I want to make. Just like before?
While, I'd like to enter in this contest I don't have any actual skills to bring to the table and would only be a burden to any team that would have me.

Given that this is a site about gam mak, you wont be a mere LPer and reviewer on this site forever The day will come and itll be interesting to see you put into practice and play all youve learned from playing an absurd amount of games.

Yeah, I agree. I bet you have a lot of neat ideas and gaming experience to bring to the table, sacred! ^_^

Perhaps. After all, I told myself I'd never become a Let's Player and now run a channel where I'm actively working on over a dozen Let's Plays at the same time.

Maybe
FlyingJester and I could use two more teammates!
Especially an artist and/or composer (to keep the workload balanced) but anyone can join :)

We already have a few vague ideas what kind of game we want to make but we can brainstorm and settle for something once the theme is revealed.

Stand back. Artist at work. I paint with enthusiasm if not with talent.

Dang, i'm already on a team. If i could i would totally help with some tracks, but i'm gonna have my hands full and i don't think i can handle being in two teams at once.

To anyone in the random pool; please let me know if you're still interested in being a part of this and don't have a team already, and I'll assign you to a team.

I'm still interested in a this, and I still don't have a team but I can only use VX Ace, so keep that in mind when assigning me to one.




Interestingly, he wasn't in the first row. Actually, he wasn't even that close to it.

Don't worry about it: the team leader usually handles engine work.
The dual theme will be... Happiness/Sadness! That's my prediction at least.
Bipolar games. It's the best of themes, it's the worst of themes.
